Currently after scanning the incoming objects with the fsck machinery, we count the number of objects that are pointed at by these objects in the pack and are not in the pack in the builtin/index-pack.c::check_object() function; at that point, we no longer know who points at the object in question, which is needed if we want to compute the boundary, so we need a bit of work here. With boundary information, we could be smarter about lazy fetching, I presume?
